Gibbons & Harris were manufacturers of narrow gauge geared steam locomotives between 1905 and 1912 in Auckland, New Zealand.
History
The steam engines of these locomotives were based on the design of those used for winches of ships, as known to Gibbons & Harris from conducting a lot of ship repair work. The boilers were purchased from other engineering companies manufactured. The locomotive had an average life expectance of 25 years.[1]
Locomotive #1, 1905
0-4-0T locomotive #1 was the first locomotive built by Gibbons & Harris for Robert Pearce Gibbons, a brother of one of the founders, and a well-known Northland contractor and saw mill owner. The locomotive had horizontal cylinders underneath the smokebox and was driven through spur gears to the front axle. The drive was taken to the rear axle by means of a pair of coupling rods.[1]
